No, sterling silver is not magnetic, so a magnet will not stick to it. If a magnet does stick to an item labeled as sterling silver, it may indicate the presence of other materials or impurities in the metal.
No, nickel-plated silver will not stick to a magnet because silver is not magnetic. Nickel-plating does not change the magnetic properties of the underlying silver metal.
Silver is a shiny, white metal that is softer and more malleable than iron, which is a dull gray metal with a harder and more resistant structure. You can also use a magnet to distinguish between the two, as iron is magnetic whereas silver is not.
A 1935 US dime should be made of 90% silver and 10% copper. You can check the edge of the coin for a visible silver coloration. Alternatively, you can use a magnet - silver is not magnetic, so if the dime does not stick to the magnet, it is likely silver.
You can determine if a 1966 half dollar is silver by checking the edge of the coin. If it has a grayish line, it likely contains silver. You can also use a magnet - if the magnet does not stick to the coin, it may be silver. Finally, consult a coin dealer or use a testing kit for a definitive answer.
It depends on what silver it is!!CorrectionNo. Silver does not have the right atomic orientation to stick to a magnet.
A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.
Yes, a magnet will not stick to a 1875 silver dollar because silver is not a magnetic metal. Silver is a non-ferrous metal, which means it does not have magnetic properties.
No, sterling silver is not magnetic, so a magnet will not stick to it. If a magnet does stick to an item labeled as sterling silver, it may indicate the presence of other materials or impurities in the metal.
No, sterling silver is not magnetic and will not stick to a magnet. If the item in question is attracted to the magnet, it likely contains iron or other magnetic metals.
Silver is not magnetic, which means it cannot be attracted by a magnet. This property is due to the arrangement of its electrons that does not create a magnetic field. So, if silver does not stick to a magnet, it simply indicates that it is not a magnetic material.
No, a US silver dollar does not stick to a magnet because silver is not a magnetic metal. United States silver dollars are made primarily of silver, which is a non-magnetic metal, so they will not be attracted to a magnet.
You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.
No, real gold and real silver are not magnetic and do not stick to a magnet. This is because they are non-ferrous metals, which means they do not contain significant amounts of iron.
A necklace made of materials such as gold, silver, or stainless steel will not stick to a magnet because these metals are not magnetic. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt will stick to a magnet.
The only jewelry that would stick to a magnet would be anything with iron in it. Gold, silver, and platinum will not stick to magnets, either.
One way to know a coin is not silver is to check it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the coin, it is not silver. If the magnet does not stick, it still might not be silver. You can test it, but to do that you need a test kit.
